Just a reminder, everyone suddenly noticed something strange.
"Are you saying that they don't intend to 'eat' us, but rather want to get out and reach a certain location..."
After observing for a moment, Qin Tian came to this conclusion.
"That's right, it seems like something outside is attracting them."
Gul squinted his eyes, contemplating the hosts within the glass curtain wall, as if he had made a decision.
"Let them out; I want to see what these guys are really after..."
As soon as Gul finished speaking, Tang Hao had already taken action.
With just a simple straight punch, a fierce punch wind howled, instantly tearing through the glass curtain wall. Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the twelve hosts let out a frenzied roar before charging through the wall, rushing in a certain direction far away, one after another.
Leading the way, Tang Hao was followed closely by the others as they vanished into the distance like beams of light.
...
The speed of the twelve hosts wasn't particularly fast. Though they seemed as quick as lightning to ordinary people, to Tang Hao and Gul, the scenes unfolded like slow-motion replays, making them very easy to capture.
Next to Tang Hao, Gul squinted his eyes, carefully observing the movements of the hosts. He continuously assessed the influence the seeds had on these hosts in hopes of discovering certain pieces of information he might have overlooked, until he heard Qin Tian's voice from above.
"Fly a bit higher; take a look at this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao and Gul immediately looked up, ascending straight upwards. In a short time, they reached a height where they could see all of Beijing at a glance.
Below, chaos began to erupt in Beijing...
...
Screams and panic fermented freely.
The few who had ascended could even see the panicked crowds on the streets, chain collisions, and people running around amidst the crowd, but generally, they were all heading towards a certain direction—the "vegetables" in a panic.
However, seeing this chaos, none of the attendees had any intention of intervening—according to Beijing's security regulations, this could only be deemed a terrorist attack, and it didn't even count as a small-scale invasion; it wouldn't take long before the City Guard cleaned it all up.
They were merely observing, watching the behavior of these hosts.
"There are probably five possible targets: Beijing Central Square, and the city gates in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest."
"There are City Guards stationed at the four city gates; regarding the current situation..."
With that, Qin Tian directed his gaze into the distance, where the City Guard was forming a combat formation. Whenever a host charged into their attack range, they were instantly crushed to pieces.
"Very safe."
"As for the Central Square, ha!"
Seeing the situation at the Central Square, Qin Tian almost laughed out loud.
There, a large group of casually dressed tourists were waving their guns and cannons at the incoming hosts. Instead of panicking or being afraid, they wore eager expressions.
"They're treating these guys as some sort of mobile score, aren't they?"
Tang Hao shook his head with a smile—under the practitioner system, everyone was a soldier. Once they had some preparation, even the residents and tourists in Beijing could easily wipe out these hosts without needing to mobilize the army.
And now, the situation was not far from reaching that point.
Instead, Gul once again reminded them.
"Disperse them; don't let these guys interfere with the hosts' actions. Also, organize the City Guard to seal off this area to prevent any unexpected situations."
As soon as Gul finished speaking, Qin Tian immediately took out his communicator to issue commands—it's simple; knowing that these hosts have a target was just the first step. They still needed to figure out the purpose of these hosts gathering together.
Being in Beijing now, with a comprehensive and strong security force, it was a wise choice to take advantage of this opportunity, leaving some hosts behind to observe the subsequent developments.
